Airhead

I am not an airhead. 
My thoughts are sponges made of lead.
They swell inside my mind, behind my zoned-out eyes,
And shield me from your cutting lies. 

Although I should apologize, 
As your mind is clearly filled with flies. 
Since you cannot hold a thought longer than your breath, 
You speak with a distinct lack of depth. 

You see, I am not brain dead. 
My words are thought before they're said.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Sometimes people think we're insane and don't realize they're the ones that don't follow. Good poem - JH
